Two queens sat in the nursery. Both of their kits were due in a few days.
"Quietheart, if I have a she-kit, she'll be mates with a tom that you have."
"That sounds fine with me, Willowleaf."

Quietheart watched Willowleaf's kits with interest.
"That silver one is pretty, but the black one is stronger, she will be the mate for my only kit."
"Fine, Quietheart, I know that Midnightkit is stronger than Silverkit. Silverkit was the runt."
"It is decided then?"
"Yes, Tigerkit and Midnightkit will be mates, they both have good lineage. Midnightkit is related to Firestar, as well as Tigerstar, and is the great, great granddaughter of Jayfeather, Squirrelflight's kit."
"Tigerkit is related to the great Bluestar, also to her daughter, Mistystar." Quietheart spat back.
"There is no need to be protective, Quietheart; their kits will be the greatest ever."
"Yes, Willowleaf, and we will do anything for them to be together, anything."
"Of course."
The two she-cats were silent as Rushingwind came in.
"Can you two watch Hawkkit? I'll be right back."
"Fine, Rushingwind."
Quietheart and Willowleaf had no idea how much the tiny brown kit would destroy their plans of Tigerkit and Midnightkit getting together.

I know that I made Willowleaf and Quietheart seem evil because, well, they are. Expect chapter one by Thursday, or the 5th review, whatever comes soonest.
